NUMB // Taekook✔️ [UNDER EDITING]

Chapter 6: Dance

Taehyung is breathing hard. His eyes wide and he doesn't know how to get them away from Jungkook's dark glare.

Taehyung has been tutoring Jungkook for around 30 minutes before the elder gave up and walked away. Taehyung struggled to make him stay before Jungkook grabbed his wrists and forced him towards the wall.

They're so close.

Taehyung can feel Jungkook's breath as he leans closer, their lips only a few inches apart. Taehyung doesn't know what to do. What the hell is Jungkook doing?

By reflex he closes his eyes, waiting for the elder to close the annoying distance between them. But he never does.

Taehyung quickly opens his eyes when he feels the elder's warmth leave him and his hands getting free. Jungkook turns around and walks towards the door.

"Let's stop for now, I'm hungry as hell." He doesn't even turn around to look at Taehyung. He just walks out and smacks the door shut, almost frustrated.

A few seconds goes by before Taehyung gets back to earth. What the fuck? That was so awkward! He even closed his eyes dammit!

He throws his hands over his face. He's so stupid.

- Time skip -

"Finally! What took you so long?" Jin asks the brunette. Taehyung has finally left Jungkook's room to meet up with his friends.

"I-I forgot the time" Taehyung signs, Jin just looks at him skeptically.

"Dude, you just stammered in sign language, stop lying." Jin giggles. Taehyung can't help but laugh at the elder's statement. He sits down and starts eating, leaving them uninformed.

They don't seem to mind, too occupied by their food.

"Hey Taehyung, wanna dance today? It's been a while," Jimin asks before slurping some noodles. Taehyung nods with a smile. He loves learning new dances from Jimin, 'cause Jimin's a natural!

Jin decides to join them. Jimin and Taehyung have always teased Jin with his dancing but admires his willpower to learn.

They left the cafeteria together and went for the studio. There aren't many students that use it since there's a bigger one in dorm 1.

Jimin and Taehyung decide to play 'lie' a song Jimin really likes. The dance is beautiful and different in Jimin's opinion, so he likes dancing to it.

They start and Jin just observes them and claps once in a while. He enjoys watching them dance.

Taehyung loves the silence that occurs when he dances. Even the music, fading away slowly till it's completely silent and his body just moves to the beats. Watching Jimin from the corner of his eye, seeing how the other enjoys it as well, letting his body follow the music.

Taehyung always curses at himself afterward for being so goddamn poetic, but at the moment he just enjoys it.

They dance for a while. Laughed at Jin's bad dad joke and ate cake.

"Well, I have homework for tomorrow so I'll head back," Jimin states as he wipes some sweat off his forehead. Jin nods and uses the same excuse, but he's probably just going to watch movies or sleep.

"You coming?" Jin asks Taehyung.

"Nah, I think I'll stay a little longer" the younger answers, scrolling through the playlist. He puts some different songs in queue and starts dancing again.

"Don't overwork yourself," Jin adds before turning around, leaving Taehyung alone with the music.

- Jungkook -

Jungkook slams his feet on the table startling Lay and Suho. "Finally, what took you so damn long?" Lay asks. He's cutting the noodles over, which for some reason seems to annoy Jungkook like hell.

The elder ignores the question and keeps looking at his phone. He saw Taehyung and his two friends leave the cafeteria but didn't pay much attention to it. He needs to stop.

"Earth to Jungkook, how about answering?" Suho comments and Jungkook looks up. 

"Why the fuck are you cutting your noodles like that?" Jungkook snaps, looking at Lay who's shocked by the sudden outburst.

"What does it matter?" Suho asks from the side but Jungkook just keeps going. "Stop it dammit, it's fucking annoying."

"What the fuck dude, chill," Lay finally comments, dragging his plate away from Jungkook like the elder is going to snatch it and run.

Jungkook just rolls his eyes and stands up. He walks out of the cafeteria, not giving a damn about the protests of his two friends.

He meets Yoongi in the corridor to his room. "What's up? You look annoyed" Yoongi says, walking in together with Jungkook.

"Whatever man," Jungkook answers as he places himself in his chair. Yoongi clears his throat, "Can you pick up the laundry? I did it last time".

"Goddammit" Jungkook is so annoyed, why the fuck does he have to do that now?

"Jesus miss, just go down and pick it up, it takes a minute."

"Why won't you do it then?"

"'Cause I ain't babying you like everybody else, and control your language, I am your hyung, you prick" Yoongi snaps, making Jungkook shut up.

They always talk like this, but Jungkook could never imagine a better roommate. Except for right now.

He sighs and stands up, grabbing his phone from the table before leaving Yoongi alone in the room. Most of the other boys were in their rooms, sleeping or whatever. The corridor is empty and Jungkook walks to the end to go down the stairs.

He slowly approaches the laundry room, but his attention is caught by some music playing. He knows there's a studio down here, but he has never heard anyone use it before.

It's dusty and Jungkook hates it. But right now, he ignores it and keeps walking towards the sound.

He knows the song, it's called 'singularity'.

He approaches the room. Jungkook's eyes widen when he sees Taehyung dancing through the window. Swinging his arms and spinning around to the music, almost like he's lost in another world.

Jungkook just looks at him. Taehyung's body moves easily to the beats and his hair swings back and forth. 

Beautiful. Or sexy?

Jungkook doesn't even know which feeling he gets from watching the younger, but he grabs the handle and opens the door, not knowing why. Taehyung's shocked and confused by the elder's entrance. 

Taehyung shapes a curse word with his mouth. Doesn't have the energy to sign.

Jungkook ignores it and walks directly over to him before grabbing his wrists once again, pushing Taehyung against the wall before pressing his lips at the younger's neck.
